Congregation Tifereth Israel

2024 Membership Drive

Be part of the largest Conservative Synagogue in Central Ohio

We are growing our inclusive and energetic community, and we want you to be part of it! At Tifereth Israel you will find opportunities to learn, daven, give back, and make friends that feel like family.

If you have questions about our synagogue or your prospective membership, please contact Stephanie Hukle, Membership Director, today!

Current members, we need your help!

Do you know someone who is thinking about joining a synagogue? Do you have a neighbor who hasn’t decided what synagogue to join yet and could use a little encouragement? We would LOVE to invite them to join Congregation Tifereth Israel. But, it is not always easy for us to know who is new to the Columbus area, who has come back to Columbus, and who is looking for a synagogue, so we are asking for your help.

From July 15 through September 18, we are having a Membership Drive. What does that mean for you? For every new member* (up to 3) that you refer and that joins by September 18, you will receive $100 off you dues for this year. (If you have already paid your dues in full, we will put the credit on your account.) 

*What does “new member” mean? A new member is someone who was not a member of Tifereth Israel in our 2023-24 fiscal year.

To make your referral(s), simple reach Stephanie Hukle, Membership Director, with the prospective members’ name and contact information.

“I love that over the years, at Tifereth Israel so much is different, yet so much has stayed the same. One constant, but intangible item, is the feeling one gets when walking through the doors – a feeling of belonging.”
